Apple's 'New iPad' Unveiled, Available March 16

And so it's arrived. The new iPad was announced by Apple in San Francisco an hour ago and it's available for pre-order right now.

The device more or less came as was anticipated, but, since no Apple announcement is complete without industry prognosticators being left thrown for a loop on something, the company decided to simply call the new iPad "The New iPad," dashing all your "HD" dreams.

It's just as well— at a resolution of 2048x1036 and 264 ppi, the new iPad's display is actually better than "HD," anyway. Apple calls it "the best display ever on a mobile device."
